Delft Young Academy
The Delft Young Academy is a community of early career academics who share common interests, exchange ideas, and inspire each other. DYA’s motto is ‘Impact for a sustainable society’, which envisions the Delft University of Technology contributing to solving global challenges by educating new generations of socially responsible engineers and expanding the frontier of engineering sciences. DYA aims to support TU Delft as an inspiring, safe, and inclusive environment for early career academics to achieve their full potential in a world-class research and education environment. To achieve this, the DYA board acts as a trustworthy discussion partner for the Executive Board and other internal and external stakeholders. DYA activities include appointing an expert to facilitate communication between stakeholders and decision-makers, ensuring concerns are effectively addressed. Board members also take on projects such as organizing events, conducting surveys, and writing position papers to benefit the early career academic community.
